    If one of the pirate parties succeeded in implementing their platform, I’d still call the act piracy there.

      Okay. Its clear you have a vested interest in it being wrong. Its not and its not illegal.

        by “the act” I meant things that are more popularly understood as piracy. even if torrenting cracked Assassin’s Creed was legalized, I’d still call torrenting cracked video games piracy.

          Nah, you are talking apples and oranges there. The play to call skipping ads has been made time and time again. Only the medium has changed. Might as well be back in the 80’s hearing over the air TV whine about VCRs.
